Yeah, there'll doubtless be some who manage to be disappointed, one way & another, @Laoak .... We'll see how many bugs/ glitches there are on launch but at least you can trust CDPR to do their best with fixing anything like that

There has been a whole debate on whether it makes sense for Cyberpunk 2077 to be 1st person or 3rd person. In 1st person they can do some really cool hacking effects and the such but c'mon the character customizer looks so good but you barely see your character for most of the game

@BruceCM Yeah I trust CDPR in fixing all of those bugs and glitches at launch. They seem like a pretty good company - aside from the whole crunch fiasco.

PC for me. My GTX 970 will struggle with it, but not as much as my PS4 would.

I think my GTX 1660 should be able to run it, my PS4 Pro would just be a jet engine if I tried to run cyberpunk on it

@Laoak The 1660 Super is one of the recommended cards for running the game on high at 1080p, so it should run well enough on medium, at least.

If I'm able to get 60fps on the low preset, I'll be satisfied, I think.

Cyberpunk review embargo lifts in a couple of hours! I'm eager to see how well it's reviewed.

I'm gonna guess similar to Witcher 3, low 90s. Maybe 92 or 93% on metacritic.

Hehe, not bad guessing. Currently 92% on opencritic.

edit: dropped to 91. Oh well close enough.

Several reviews have noted that the world is little more than a background you more or less ignore. Oh dear... Standard rpg then?

@NEStalgia

I'm not sure if it's the same point, but the thing I did hear repeatedly is that all of the interesting content is part of the main quests and the story-heavy side quests. It's apparently not the kind of game where there's much emergent gameplay moments as you explore the world. It's all very scripted as part of the official missions.

So pretty much the exact opposite of Breath of the Wild then.

Also, pretty much everyone is mentioning the bugs as being a big issue. I might just play a couple of hours on launch to try it out, and then like wait a month before continuing, in the hope that they fix a lot of the bugs. Although no-one knows how much the day 1 patch will fix, of course.

The 1060 is barely cracking 30fps on medium settings at 1080p. I canceled my preorder: this game would destroy my piddly 970.

@NEStalgia Disappointing, but not surprising. TW3 is the same way: its world is largely just a very pretty backdrop for its (mostly) well-written quests to take place in.

Despite the hype overload, this was never going to be some fundamental revolution in open world design. The closest thing we've gotten to that since Oblivion is Breath of the Wild.

@Ralizah yeah I've been saying for ages of couldn't live up to the hype no matter how good it is. It's insane.

Though Oblivion was amazing for it's time. I love botw, but i don't feel it really reinvented anything either. It had a unique approach, but it wasnt entirely a new experience either

@Dezzy heh. I'm half tempted to throw in at launch just to see what is about and to quell the urge to buy demons souls for 10$ more...a game i know I'll hate, play for 30 min, then never touch again. . But i really want to wait for the next gen patch. I haven't actually played witcher 3 yet mostly, either, so I'm looking forward to the next gen patch for that as well.

I keep trying to play Cyberpunk but it won't go yet .... #impatient

Yeah I'm not that sure how much it really reinvented either, but a lot of people do say that. If it's just the emergent gameplay type thing, well didn't MGS5 already kinda do that 2 years earlier?

It definitely seems like Cyberpunk is innovating to some extent, with the sheer density of its world. Haven't seen many like that.

Although sadly it sounds like the verticality of it is a bit superficial. I think you can only go up inside a couple of the tall buildings, which kinda sucks. I wanted to jump off some roofs and stealth kill an enemy by landing on them.

Cyberpunk lookin good on PS4.

Has that had the day one patch yet? I'm sure that'll fix a lot of those

@BruceCM No idea, although given the hate campaign this dude has been on, I wouldn't be surprised if he was showcasing the unpatched version of the game.

Videos like that aren't very helpful because you have no idea how long it took to see that many bugs. Was that like 10 minutes of gaming? In which case the game would be pretty much unplayable.
Or was that 40 hours and those were the only examples he found? In which case, it's easily bearable.

Still, I expect I'll probably wait for a few more patches before doing most of my playthrough.

Oh and apparently the performance mode doesn't exist on PS5. That's just an Xbox thing (probably because Xbox allows more options in its backcompat mode). The PS5 version is apparently just the PS4 version but running at 60fps. And presumably without the crazy loading issues for textures and models. In other words, a lot better.

@Dezzy
Just posted this on the Xbox thread but thought i'd let you know that if you set your language region and location to New Zealand you can play Cyberpunk today. I know you're getting it for your Series S but don't know if you've already pre-ordered it or not
